They say, "A Picture is worth a thousand words!" Live in it! Konigsee, a eye-catchy tourism destination in Germany.

The first thing we (Me & my partner in crime, my best friend Siva) did was having our lunch. Guess where? I know you would guess it right!

We're waiting for the bus. No, actually, he is waiting and I'm clicking..

The first thing we did after reaching there... :-P We took a walk (did we?)

The captain of the ship was on time. I wonder how they follow their timelines.

Pam..Pam...It's an ECHO POINT. And it did echo whatever music he created. (oh buddy, I'm sorry, but you need to learn how to play a Trumpet.)

People of all ages looking forward to land at Konigsee, the island of tree fossils.

Ah! The entrance...

Much closer!

More people joining us. It's going to be fun!

That's what we call as picture perfect!

Twins, and you know what, they made the trip lively. We enjoyed clicking them.

Ah! What a priceless reaction. She inspired us to get into the water...

That's me, flaunting my six-pack body! (#TrueStory :-P)

The divine path of nature. (oh yes, I'm speaking about the place :-P)

In life, we always stand at the crossroads. It's just that one decision can take you to the right path. (Too much philosophy, is it?)

My partner in crime, wants to click a photograph, as if he is looking for frames to click :-P

Life has a 'L' board, and that's Love. Make sure you learn properly before you drive in a highway called 'Marriage; (Again too much philosophy here)

One of the tree fossils... I just loved it. If you are a lover of tree fossils (have you visited Brindavan Gardens of Bangalore?) This is five time bigger than that in terms of fossils.

That's the route map (Dear techie's this is not powered by Google)

A much closer look at the park name, will help you walk smiling :)

Ah! That's what we call as a perfect frame!

Family and Friends having fun!

Time to click our face :-P

Yes, that's a classic pic !

A family living on the opposite side of Konigsee.

Guess where we are heading to?

If you guessed it right, yes, we're in Salzburg, Old City!

More pics to come in my next travelogue post. Stay tuned.

Konigsee, be it any seasons, it is a fantastic place to visit. We've been there in winter as well as in summer. It's an treat for the eyes. It's an ideal place for couple who wants to spend quality time for them, for family who wants to dedicate time out of their busy lives, and for wanderers like us!

“Do you want to see your evidence?” Acharya asked and then he ordered his men to bring Shekhar, Tara and Jennifer to the rituals room.

Arjun stood there unmoved waiting for the right time to attack. Shekhar, Tara and Jennifer were brought to the room. On seeing Shekhar, Roohi ran to him and hugged him. Shekhar and Tara lost their nerves, they wanted to hug their sweet child back, but their hands were tied, so they stood helpless and hopeless.

Acharya let out a loud laughter again. “Do you have any other evidence Arjun?” he roared. “Even if you have, I do not mind because with this sacrifice, I will become invincible.”

“You will not be invincible by human sacrifices, Mr PM” Shekhar raised his voice. “You shall never be powerful. You were the Honourable Prime Minister of India before a couple of hours, but no more, Acharya” Shekhar laughed, “Do you think that I handed over the original photographs to you? Am I that dumb? Is that the only evidence we had? Do you think so? If yes is your answer then you failed miserably.”

“The photographs revealing the true face behind Kochi’s Political Leader murder, the video showcasing Ahuja and your conversation revealing the plan of sacrificing Ismail Abdullah in his place, the audio recording of your plan to bomb during the Ganesh Chaturthi festivals, the photographs of Cyrus and Roohi’s abduction in a van owned by a private sector that is registered to your real name, and finally, the video recording of our conversation couple of hours ago that went live on Tara’s channel.”

Acharya stood his ground. Shekhar continued, “We live in a Nation where media can go anywhere. You forgot that. Check the news channels Acharya. Your fake face is unmasked an hour ago!”

Acharya smiled at Shekhar, “That’s impressive, but not enough to defeat the invincible.” He ordered his men to set the Tomb on fire, so that nobody escapes from here.

Arjun was quick enough to order his team to break into the Tomb. Arjun’s Team was well equipped, though they suffered minor injuries, still in less than two minutes, they managed to shoot down all the goons. In the meantime Arjun set Shekhar, Tara and Jennifer free.

Arjun took his revolver out and said, “Be a good man. Your cooperation is the ticket for the rest of your life.”

Acharya appeared unruffled. “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. There is only one God out of which all life is born, and that is the Fire,” he raised his arms upwards closing his eyes. “Let the Glory be to the true God!”

He looked at them furiously. “It’s not easy to defeat the mighty Acharya you little prick.” He let out a loud laughter again and then he jumped into the fire sacrificing himself to the God.” Roohi without her knowledge shouted, “Nana-ji.”

I’m Saravana Kumar Murugan (Sarav), a senior software engineer by profession, a writer by passion and a photographer by choice. I write under a pen name Someone is Special, as my pen name is a sweet dedication to a dream angel. I am born in this world to express my dreams, I do so as poems and prose. I do prefer poetry as it helps me to rhyme what I love to, and attain peace.

This blog is a reflection of my obsession with romance, writing, photography and sharing my life (sometimes) in a meaningful and beautiful way. Stay around.

Today…I am living amongst human-machines yet dreaming and penning verses as a sweet dedication to my dream angel...Someone is Special..¸.•*´¨`♥
